The foll= owing may be of some use, although I am unsure what happens this late in the= season. In 2004, I photographed a Rusty Tussock Moth (Orgyia antiqua) caterpillar, k= ept it in a jar, and photographed the moth after it eclosed. This is a photgraph of the caterpillar when first found on July 10. http://www.pbase.com/crocodile/image/31819338 My notes below the photo state: =20 I brought this caterpillar indoors on July 10, 2004, and put it in a glass j= ar with some honeysuckle leaves. I covered the jar with a piece of paper to= wel secured with an elastic. Within about 24 to 36 hours, the caterpillar h= ad made a thin, gauzy, yellowish cocoon on the underside of the papertowel l= id. It emerged as a moth on July 23, 2004. Here are two photos of the moth - photographed live while resting on a piece= of paper: http://www.pbase.com/crocodile/image/31818845 http://www.pbase.com/crocodile/image/31818846 It's a rather cool looking little moth. =20 Good luck with your experiment! bev wigney Round Hill, NS (in summer) Sent from my iPad On 2013-08-21, at 7:53 AM, Paul MacDonald <paulrita2001@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi All > The caterpillar has formed a cocoon. > Don't know what you call it now! > It seems to have used all the hairs on its body to > make the outside of the cocoon along with other > material to hold the hairs together. > An interesting procedure. > Anyone know how long before the moth emerges? > Have a nice day > Paul > =20 >=20 >=20 --Apple-Mail-1586B6FB-2926-433D-90E8-C9196C092513 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head></head><body bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF"><div><div><div>Hello Paul  = ;- and all,</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the caterpillar and length of= time until a moth emerges.
